When New York Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio named Bill Bratton as his police commissioner, in December 2013, critics picked up where they’d left off when Bratton last ran the NYPD, in the 1990s. In the interim, Bratton had presided over a successful makeover of the Los Angeles Police Department, burnishing his image as an innovator in policing. But Bratton’s New York foes saw his second coming as a betrayal of de Blasio’s campaign promises of police reform, and argued that the selection of the champion of broken windows policing doomed the city to more heavy-handed police tactics. As Lumumba Bandele, a community organizer with the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, put it, “For most of the people who are doing and have been doing police brutality work here for some time, and for people who have working, functioning memory, Bratton was not welcomed.”
